[epicstar]

@RitwikGupta and I aren't the best designers...... we need the app icon changed......

@VincentIII and @benmusni :333333333333333333

[VincentIII]

I'll see if I can find the Bus-Stop-Esque icon I made before and upgrade it to Material Design standards

[epicstar]

Some Guidelines:

• Must be Pittsburgh-Centric
  • black and yellow? ayyy lmaoo
  • elements of the design must have Pittsburgh stuff (bridge? etc.)
• Must obviously look like an app icon of a transportation app
• Must be a vector icon (svg, etc.)
• I recommend that it should abide by material design: https://material.google.com/style/icons.html

Feel free to post suggested icons here.

Not good at making art myself, unfortunately. Have you considered fiverr?

[toddmedema]

I could also see something like this, where the inner transparent parts are filled with yellow: https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=Bus&i=97

hey @toddmedema, thanks for the suggestion. I've already seen that site you've linked. I am actually thinking exactly what you want (yellow background, black bus on top of fit). I'm not going to do fiverr since this is an open source project :). I want the app made by Pittsburghers for Pittsburghers :)

PAT Realtime Tracker.zip I am not an expert tried my best to get the material design icon that matches the existing color palette

[toddmedema]

That looks great! Much clearer :)

[balajikandasamy]

If you are happy please integrate to the project and publish the same. Thank you :)

@balajikandasamy, thank you very much for the app icon. Is it possible that you can create this as a .svg file? This way, the app icon quality doesn't change when we need more resolutions for the app icon.

I like it a lot, and your work will be added to the app once I get the chance to.

[balajikandasamy]

Finally, got the chance to get it converted find the attached SVG and Icons. PAT.Realtime.Tracker.V1.zip

@balajikandasamy thank you very much. This will make it to the 8.0 release. I'll make sure to put your name on the icon, also.

[balajikandasamy]

Glad it worked. Hope to see the icon on my phone soon.

I am just curious. When this will be merged.

[epicstar]

@balajikandasamy sorry for the late reply. I've not actually been working on the app for a while due to external reasons. I don't have a timeline on the 8.0 release (if I had real work hours dedicated to this, I'd be done in 3 days), but it will definitely make it to the next 8.0 pre-release.

[RitwikGupta]

@balajikandasamy Can you look at issue #325 please? Sorry for our extremely late action on this, we've both been out of it due to other obligations.
